    Gideon now saying taxes will increase, cuts to be made. If that's doesn't invite recession I don't know what will. Still it'll be the EU's fault.
    They were coming anyway as deficit isn't reducing enough.

    Just means whoever does the job can blame Brexit.

    Are you voting for the new PM are you? - No one ever did which ever colour you are.

    Are you voting for any members of the house of lords? No one ever did what ever colour or Religion you are.

    Did you vote for the privatisation of the NHS? That's the EU TIPP treaty. And whats wrong with going to the market place?

    You have some strange ideas about what democracy is. See above Twunt.
    I'm not an SNP supporter but she seems to be the only UK politician with their act together right now.
    Shes about to throw away the chance of negotiating more powers (in particular for Fisheries and Agriculture) for Holyrood (an inevitable outcome of Brexit) for her own agenda.

    The whole thing was incredibly surreal, and had more than an air of Kim Jong-Un and North Korea about it. I'm surprised all the MEP aren't issued with notepads and paper and told to make notes whenever some diatribe comes out of Junckers ever more wrinkly face.
    Hope this makes you feel better:

    Utterly agree. The guy's the EU equivalent of Farage.

    They have now said if they don't get to stay in the EU as a region they will call a referendum. So indyref 2 is not the priority.

    As I have been saying they don't want another referendum as it will be unwinnable.

    This is about picking fights to slowly win support.

    She's keen enough all right, but the way she's going about things is idiotic. You have to break away first, before rejoining the EU. If she doesn't accept the result of the referendum for Scotland, the time to oppose this was BEFORE the referendum, not after. She suggested a 4 way lock on vote for all 4 countries, but didn't follow it through, and is now trying to bang the drum for Scotland and reach out for help from the EU which isn't coming any time soon.

    As for trying to veto the Brexit, please have a day off love.

    Whipping up the nationalists does not require much political skill.
